Query reinforcement

You can query the calculations by right-clicking on any plate element and then select "Reinforcement Results" from the popup menu that appears. A scrollable results form appears that displays a useful summary of the reinforcement calculations for the plate you selected.

 

In the query form below, Mx, My and Mxy are the raw bending moments obtained from the analysis, whereas Mxt, Myt, Mxb and Myb are the Wood-Armer adjusted moments that would be used for the top and bottom reinforcement if the Wood-Armer option is ticked.

 

Note that if you are using the strip method for reinforcement design then you should use the "Query concrete slab design results" tool instead.

 

 

While the form is open, you can simply click on any other plates to have their reinforcement calculations displayed.
